C               F            C  
Hear that lonesome whipperwill,  
   G7                   C  
He sounds too blue to fly;  
  F                     C  
The midnight train is whining low,  
   G7               C  
I'm so lonesome I could cry.  

C              F              C  
I've never seen a night so long,  
   G7                   C  
When time goes crawling by;  
  F                     C  
The moon just went behind the clouds,  
   G7               C  
I'm so lonesome I could cry.  

C                  F               C  
Did you ever see a robin weep,  
   G7                  C  
When leaves begin to die?  
  F                     C  
Like me, he's lost the will to live,  
   G7               C  
I'm so lonesome I could cry.  

C                  F              C  
The silence of a falling star  
   G7                  C  
Lights up a purple sky;  
  F                     C  
And as I wonder where you are,  
   G7               C  
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
